this doesnt mean a single 2.3 kilobyte patch. this means an enormous suite of more than 2000 individual patches

Yes, the "Massive ~2.3k Patch Series" in the article title give a better idea about this patch vs "2.3K Patch" HN title.

In relation to the article, it seems like Ingo Molnar did everyone a favor by doing some low level code clean up. I hope this gets tested and accepted.

The OP missed out the key word "series" from the actual blog. In this context 2.3k refers to 2300. Hopefully @dang can revise the title slightly or maybe just point to the actual patch - https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/YdIfz+LMewetSaEB@gmail.com/T/#u

Title should be fixed. This isn’t a 2.3k patch. It’s a series of 2300 patches.

That makes more sense. One would think the only response to such a big change would be to insist it be made into many smaller requests.

It already is 2,300 small, self–contained, easily digestible requests.

Yeah, it's hard to imagine spending 2 straight years untangling the Gordian Knot even this far. What an amazing feat by Ingo.
